Seems to me the display curves a bit at the top & bottom of the phone. If you put a ruler on it from top to bottom you can also see a space through the center. This doesn't happen from side to side, just top to bottom.
Is my ruler bent or is this guy slightly curved?
Maybe the ruler is bent?

Dunno, just tried a second "ruler" (actually only have one, so this was a bottle opener), same result. Seems the glass on the top is a bit more curved than the bottom.
Perhaps this one is flawed?
BTW, this is on what was a white (ordered a black back) Nexus 5 32GB

Hi
I dropped my phone getting out of my car, wounded. I look at the phone hoping the screen wasn't broke, it wasn't thank god. The back class was broke but instantly thought well its a cheap fix and i am buying a durable case.
However, imagine place the phone (screen side down) then look at the bottom corner, not directly underneath but the opposite corner, this was the crumple zone. The corner casing has also bent a little bit upwards and it now has a sharp edge?
Would anyone know how i could get this part or better still name the part so i can do a better search?
thanks
Is it just me or has any one else noticed the dent in the top right corner? There is one in the top left corner but less noticeable.
Post a picture please.

Sorry, but it's just you.
No dents at all, smooth clean lines no matter what angle I look at it.
Yeah no issues here with what appears to be dents. Sure you didn't drop ?

This is the top right corner. It might just be my OCD but this is how it came never dropped or anything.
Mine has a dent as well

I assume you are talking about the gap between the metal rail and the upper bezel - That's definitely not there on my phone.

I still don't see an indentation... But yeah, the gap is definitely not normal. I'd compare to floor model at the store. looks like maybe it was dropped or defect in materials?
I have that gap In the rail as well
Are you talking about the flat part on the metal rail, on some end, right near the corner, I have it, but I think it's more of a machine mode press.
About the gap, I have that but it's on the back, one side has no gap, whiles the other with a noticeable gap, I also think its the mode press, I have notice this during my purchased and I also check a few other, and most of them have it.
update: looking carefully, it's probably the battery cover on one side is slight short.
Gap
No gap
Dint
No dint
Manufacturing inconsistency is what you have OP. It happens, you could try calling your carrier and see if they will exchange. But it doesn't hamper the phone.
That's a shame. The exterior of my phone is put together with precision.
Lol both of mine were good
I too have that gap, upper right hand corner
yea it happends sometimes, I think u can exchange for a new one (if they have a perfect one)
Hello.
Has some of you replaced the original corners? I'm really thinking about doing it since the one at the top left got damaged and it looks very bad, haha.
I may buy them from Witrigs, since I have already bought from there.
What I'm a little worried about is: is it safe and easy to change those parts by myself? And will I lose water resistance?

Mine too is slightly dented/damage (same as yours, top left corner), and I was wondering the same... Does replacing that teflon corner affects the phone (water resistance) ?
Based on this video:
, water resistance might not be affected. The corners seem to be on top of a kind of internal frame
I guess we'll find out soon enough how it went and how it looks like once replaced. Doesn't look too difficult though judging by the video you posted, as long as you have some basic manual skills

I will implement same thing I bought one piece middle frame corner from Aliexpress. I wanna ask that will this process damage water resistance of phone or not?

I am wondering why the top left corner of Xperia Z5 is so sensitive and weak. Now my phone is very ugly while seeing from left side.
Not sure if Sony Warranty can replace it, of course with additional fees.
Quick heads up. I don't have my Z5 anymore (gave it to my fiancée and got a S7 Edge), but I managed to repair the corner.
It requires patience and precision, but it's quite easy
I removed the damaged corner using a hair dryer and a pair of very thin long nose pliers. The glue became very soft and the corner came easily. I then used lighter fluid to clean the remaining glue and stuck the new corner with 2 droplets of crazy glue.
Looks like new now! Just don't overheat the phone with the hair dryer, and make sure you don't blow hot air directly on the display. I will post pics if you want.
So i just got my hands on a MotoG3 and wanted to ask you guys if there any sort of ripple/discoloration effec that you notice on the screen if you press the screen a little hard? Not very hard but more than a slight touch. I see small ripples around the area where I press on the screen. Is it normal?
Definitely not normal. Might be an issue with the glass and glue on top of your display.

If you press right in the middle of the screen, what do you see? A little more than average pressure.
Its like when you touch the screen of your laptop. The distortion in the LCD display.
makes me wonder if the screen was left out in the sun. You could take a chance and try to get an OEM lcd/digitizer on fleabay - just make sure it says oem. Also google for motorola g3 teardown and read them all.
I have the same thing on my device since day one. It hasn't got any worse or better and it is present only in one place - a liitle above the center to the right.
Hello,
Received my Note10+ yesterday, so far love the device.
I just noticed today (this morning) on bright sun / light a gap of couple of millimeters on top of the screen.
Looks like screen is not going to the edge on top side only, is this normal?

Please see image for better view / understanding.
Thanks
that gap is for the sensors and speaker
Thank you very much for your time and responding to this thread.
I am a little bit confused, isnt the speaker at the bottom?
I had Samsung S10+ until yesterday, and i do not remember seeing gap like this (its not the same phone, but, probably similar design / i might be wrong though).
Thank you
The gap in the middle 2 arrows are the cut out for the front speaker the other gaps are where the screen meets the frame sometime there bigger on different phones its hut and miss
But if it bothers you exchange it for one that fits a bit better
Thank you very much for responding.
I think i have 15 days to replace / return the phone (i will re-check), but, if its kinda normal, and possible on any other phone, even replacement, i do not think its wise to do it.
Once i put case on, i do not even think it will be that visible (hardly visible now as well if not on bright light).
Biggest concern if this would affect IP68 in anyway
Thanks

I think there is a way you can test the ip rating without obviously putting it in water
Back when I had the xperia phones you could squeeze the device and check the pressure didn't rise and stay risen to indicate its water tight
Thank you again for your time.
I decided to test that gap by pouring water on it for about 20-30 seconds, no issues at all.
I will not bother with this, will just enjoy the phone.
Thanks again.
The picture link is not working. From my understanding the only small gap should be in the center where the top speaker hole is. But the left and right side of the top speaker till the corner should not have any gap. I am having the same issue. I'm going to check to see if other models are like that.
Same, should not be there.
In the end i decided to return the phone.
Upon closer inspections took some photos and judging by other demo units on display. They all have that white line gap. Some are more noticable than others. But same line can be seen. I compared 3 different phones from different stores. They all exist. It's seems like that white line looks like maybe it's the adhesive glue. The middle does not have it where the ear speaker cutout is, where the ear speaker hole ends on both side left and right white line is visible because of the extra gap on both sides and it appears that the line stops before the corner on each side of the glass on the top. It's maybe nitpicking buts it's really annoying. I checked on the S10 it's not present on that model and none I see on the Note 9 too. I checked. And since it's like white color can be visible inside the small gap line on the top where the glass meets up with the metal frame.
I actually just discovered that I can get a piece of paper down between the top of the screen and the frame on my Note 10 +!!!??? All along the top of the glass - from the top left corner to the right?
Is this what you are talking about? And will the phone still be waterproof? (There could still be a rubber membrane that prevents water from entering the insides of the phone...)
